Norm, the SDCC version that first came out was Doctor Voodoo, Sorcerer Supreme, with skull paint on his face, a bone necklace, and the Eye of Agamotto on his cloak. The Dorammu BAF wave version was just him as modern Brother Voodoo, without the Eye and the face paint. They were on the Bucky Cap body. The new Doctor Voodoo is on a variation of the Vulcan body, without the butterfly joints. He is the Sorcerer Supreme version with the Eye of Agamotto and face paint. So if you never had the SDCC version, this is a better version of him. Up to you whether he is worth the upgrade if you're not building Blackheart.
Got Hellverine, Bloodstorm, and Dracula in from Amazon. My Blackheart torso is very clicky but doesn't feel like it's tearing like some people have said.
Bloodstorm is pretty nice and has more new parts than I expected. Like this snarling face much more than the weird scrunched faces they did for Wolfsbane and Tigra. Torso seems kind of small but works well with the jacket - I wonder if the lower half will be reused for that rumored X-Force X-23 as it has a waist cut so it isn't married to the jeans mold
I ordered Bloodstorm and Dracula last week on Amazon, the rest of the Blackheart wave availability has been bumped up to tomorrow.

I'm reasonably confident he's on the terrible Spider-UK body.
Just pre-ordered the rest of the Blackheart wave except Hellverine. I figured I get them before they go out of stock.
My wave just shipped but I don't actually care about the figures in this assortment anymore. I don't read any of the Midnight Suns branch of comics so this batch will most likely be resold
depending on where you got it from, could you not ust return it?
@captain-batman I got it from BBTS and I think they allow returns, but I'll be heading out of town over the next week and there's no guarantee that I'll be home before they get here
Got my wave from Pulse.
Bloodstorm has new hands with sculpted fingernails.
Hellverine brown does not match Broodverine brown, but are very close.
Moon Knight is pinless.
Lilith’s thigh fishnet print does not line up to her boots. There’s a gap.
Helstrom has a big head!
Brother Voodoo is actually really nice, but I still hate that staff he comes with. How’s he supposed to hold it? Those heads drooping down have thrown me off since the first figure. Also, this figure seems to have heterochromia! (right eye is brown, left eye is blue)
Dracula is the stand out. Really nice figure all around.
Blackheart isn’t bad either. I got all his articulation working, but that neck is pitifully limited.
I got Lilith in yesterday, my most anticipated from the wave. Seeing her head in person I really wish they'd leaned into the design more. Her "horns" barely extend beyond a normal person's cranium - comparing it with the box art is a shame, because a figure with a more exaggerated/accurate head would be super intimidating and awesome looking. I'm still excited to have a figure of her, but the execution on her noggin' leaves something to be desired.
Hellstrom and Hellverine are also on the way. I'm already jonesin' for more horror figures - hopefully there's something in this vein to see at NYCC. Mephisto, Robbie, Vengeance, Werewolf by Night...

I noticed that in the livestream and figured (no pun intended) if that was the best they had to show off, it was going to be a widespread issue. It's a bummer that it's so conspicuous. (EDIT- sorry, read that too fast and thought you were referring to the printing alignment issues at the top of the leg). Think I will wait for a discount on her if I can be patient enough to build Blackheart.
I currently have the BAF parts from Bloodstorm, Dracula, Brother Voodoo and Moon Knight. Seeing a partially built BAF really activates my OCD/Impulse tendencies.
I do like Blackheart a lot. The articulation doesn't have all the range I want, but it's certainly not a statue. Putting it together was a literal pain, because he's so spiky! In particular, getting the arms into the shoulder sockets required enough force that you really have to grip those spikes. That left a mark!
I'm kind of enjoying this wave trickling in all week so I've got a day or two to mess around with each figure. Hellstrom just showed up and I've got to accept that I'm just a sucker for a nice, simple action figure. There's nothing fancy about him, but he's on a good base body, has a really nice face sculpt, no frills, just a good action figure. It's always the least flashy figure from a wave that I end up enjoying the most.
More hellish figures please, Hasbro!
Got the whole wave from Pulse. Fun wave. Dracula is particularly outstanding with two great head sculpts, detailed armor, nice powerful proportions, and dynamic articulation. I love the cape.
Dracula also allows us to finally “complete” the animated Cabal from the Avengers Assemble animated series! We just need a comic book Attuma—please Hasbro!
That's the first time I've ever regretted selling Iron Skull. 🙂
